Scale lengths of various Mosrite guitars?

So...it wasn't a dream.

It was Ed who recounted how Semie bought and used surplus Standel equipment.

Hey, here's a bit of Mosrite-Standel Trivia that very few know, Maybe nobody now.
When Standel went out of business the Mosrite Scale lenth got shorter, it changed from 24.75 to 24.5. How did this happen?? Up to this point Mosrite had been cutting there fret slots one at a time on a radial-arm saw with a jig, something like you would buy from Stewart-McDonald's Guitar shop supply. Anyway, When Standel bellied-up Semie bought Standels Fret Saw Machine, It worked great! I used it a many of time, you could cut all 22 and the zero fret slot in one motion, Semie liked it so well he did'nt change a thing, not even the scale.
Like Uncle Semie use to say , Ed, that's close enough, "Run The Fire Out Of It!"

WoW!! I must of missed something here. The scale lengths I gave were taken from my Mo' Catalog from '66. And I believe Standel
closed their doors around '73-'74 (BTW, they're back in business). So the TimeFrame doesn't seem to line up correctly....???

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Ventures wanted Semie to make them some longer scale guitars like Fender so they could play up high on the neck easier but he wouldn't do it. Anyone else heard that?
My Bluesbender measures exactly 12 5/16" at the 12th fret which would make it a 24 5/8" scale
